The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers
The Wrong Move

The moment Evan held her hands above her head, Laura couldn't explain why her heart was beating very fast. She has never felt this way before, what could this mean? Is she scared of him or is it just a normal impulse? She thought. "Do you have to think of everything?" Evan asked. His words brought her back from her thoughts. He looked into her beautiful eyes and he couldn't deny how mesmerizing those eyes were. He slowly moved to her lips with his eyes. Those pink plump lips were calling out to him, he didn't know when he placed his lips or hers. Laura froze. She didn't see this coming. He pulled back when he saw she was in shock. She tried to get away from him but he held her pinned to the bed. "Let's see how tough you are now". Evan said still keeping her arms above her head.

Laura tried to wiggle her way out of his grip, but he was too strong for her. She decided to give up on the fight because she knew it was useless. How does she intend to get away from someone with bigger muscles? is that even possible? She thought.

After a few minutes of no struggle, Evan let go of her hands, but unknown to Laura he wasn't setting her free. Laura tried to stand up but with Evan still on top of her, it was hard.

Evan laughed at her attempt to run away. The door swung open, revealing a shock Ashley. Evan quickly got off from Laura as he looked away while he allowed Laura to attend to his sister who was smiling sheepishly. Ashley was giving Laura a weird look which Laura understood perfectly well.

"I don't mean to interrupt...". Ashley said, winking at her sister.

"Say what you have to say before I suffocate you till you lose your breath". Laura cuts in because she knew how weird her sister can be.

"Wait!" Ashley thought of what she said. "Lose my breath?" She asked. "That means you are going to suffocate me to death?" She added while glaring at her sister.

"Now, that you have gotten the answer to the riddle, state your mission." She walked back to sit on her bed.

"Fine. Reed is here to see you." She announced as Laura looked at Evan, who was staring at her too before returning the look to her sister.

"Reed?". Laura asked.

Her sister nodded. "I told him you're with Evan but still he....".

"You told him what?". It was Evan, who cuts in this time.

"... I told him you're with my sister, which clearly..." she points at the two of them. "... is true. I mean with the position I saw you two on earlier, I..." Before she could say anymore, Laura threw a pillow at her, making her sister leave the room. Laura got down from the bed as she moved to the door. She checked the time... it was almost four. "I'm still surprised why I am not feeling sleepy". she laughed at the new person she is turning out to be. "I'll be back". She told Evan, who didn't respond to her.

The door shut as Laura went to meet Reed, who rushed to meet her when he heard her footsteps. The looks Laura saw in his eyes weren't the ones she was used to, this one was different. "Laura I.. I love you". Reed's abrupt proclamation made Laura's eyes widen in shock.

Adam and Emerald were happy they had each other back, but Adam was scared to tell Emerald he was claimed already. He knew secrets will break trust, but still, he decided to keep it a secret. Emerald walked up to him when she saw he was lost in thoughts. She sat on his lap as she touched his hair, helping him massage his scalp.

Adam loved it when she does the hair massage thing. A smile crept on his lips when her hands moved to his lips.

"I have no idea what I'd do without you". Adam confessed. "I love you Emerald with everything I've got".

Emerald got down from his lap as she paced the room. She was hurt and Adam could tell, but why?. Adam walked up to her and placed his arms around her waist.

"You don't want to tell me you've been claimed?". Emerald asked as she turned to look at him and his expression showed she was shocked. How did she replace out?

"The moment you came back and I came into your room... I saw the bite. I thought that was why you didn't want me but I didn't understand why you'd keep such a thing from me". "Em.....". before he could say anything Emerald placed her index finger on his lips making him keep quiet.

"I want to claim you back Adam". She said as she pushed Adam onto the bed.

"Emerald... we can't. It's going to hurt us and those people that claimed us".

"Yours is dead and mine seems to be in love with someone else... I don't think it matters".

"But Em...." Emerald was tired of hearing him give excuses all the time. This time she's having it her way, whether he wants it or not. She placed her lips on his lips, but Adam didn't comply. She tried to use her tongue to gain access, but still, he wouldn't let her in.

Adam knew what he was doing... no way was he going to let her gain access. The guys are the head so they have to lead.

Immediately Emerald stood up, Adam pinned her back to the bed and while she was trying to speak, he kissed her. He didn't need to gain access because it was given already. He kissed her passionately and she returned it. He kissed her neck and when she moaned his name, she turned to look at her like he was asking her for permission. Emerald nodded and immediately, Adam bit her neck, making her clench into him tightly. Her breath was slowly fading as her eyes began to close gradually.

Adam didn't know what was happening until her clenched fist left his body.
